    Youssef and the location was fantastic. 5 minute walk to the centre and 10 minute walk to the souks. Traditional breakfast was always served each morning with a smile. Loved our time in Marrakech.

    Showers could use a curtain - but definitely not an issue to shower without.

    Quiet oasis in the middle of the medina's chaotic alleys. Location is perfect for exploring the medina and still completely quiet at night. Super helpful and friendly host, Youssef even let me stay in a free room after i checked out so i could spend the hottest part of the day in a room with AC.

    Loved everything about R Bensaid, traditional decor, super comfortable, loved the rooftop relaxed terrace. Superb location, 3 min from the square that makes it feel very easy and safe to come back at any time. Youssef the host is amazing, so friendly, hospitablr and helpful, nothing seems impossible to arrange. Thank you for an amazing stay, it felt like home away from home.

    Booked into Riad Bensaid for a couple nights. The Riad was close to the main square and easy to find. Youssef was absolutely amazing and took great care to make sure all was well with my stay . The Riad was beautiful with lots of hot water and A/C although not needed at this time. Breakfast was nice consisting of eggs, Moroccan pancakes bread cheese, jam, olives fresh orange juice and coffee. Beautiful roof top to enjoy the sun or tuck away in the covered seating. It’s a great place to stay and I’m sure you will be happy with your choice.

    Riad Bensaid is a charming and authentic retreat in the heart of Marrakech's vibrant Medina. Just steps away from Jamaa El Fna, it offers a perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. The beautifully renovated riad retains its rustic charm while providing excellent service and amenities. A true gem for anyone seeking a peaceful yet culturally rich experience in Marrakech

    Really enjoyed our stay at the Riad Bensaid! It’s located minutes away from the square and in walking distance to all the main attractions of Marrakesh, whilst tucked away on a quieter road. The courtyard is beautiful, breakfast was nice. The main highlight was the hotel manager / host Youssef who was very friendly, helpful and super lovely overall! If I had to fault anything - our room at the ground floor was a bit humid, but that was the only drawback, and even that wasn’t as bad.

    We went to Marrakech as a group of 8 to celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I think we stayed at the best hotel in the city, Riad Bensaid. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Youssef, in particular, was incredibly supportive in every way. We would like to thank him on behalf of the whole group. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was quite satisfying. The location was very central, and everywhere was within walking distance.

    The location is superb, you can step from the beautiful chaos of the busy market streets in the Medina, into a quiet relaxing space and enjoy a rest. The decorations are tasteful and evoke traditional moroccan culture Yusuf, our host was resourceful, attentive and friendly. His calm and reassuring attitude made our stay feel stress free and comfortable. I am going to recommend any friend who’d like to visit Marrakech stay at his riad!

    The riad is situated in the middle of Medina, old city with very tiny streets. Don't rent the car, it is impossible to park it nearby. Use taxi, it is cheaper

    The original and traditional guest house of Morocco - Riad was very cozy and clean, with very traditional architecture and furniture. The best way to fill the exceptional welcoming environment of Morocco. The personal was very kind and helpful. If you want to go to any excursion, ask the personnel in the hotel. You will get the outstanding high quality service with the prices cheaper than outside. Actually we have canceled all our excursions reserved before the trip and used the hotel services as they were 30% cheaper.
